UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:145429191 AB - Marcus Tomalin probes the relationships between language and literature during the Romantic period by exploring how Tobias Smollett, Maria Edgeworth, William Wordsworth, John Keats, William Cobbett, William Hazlitt, and others, used and abused the French language. Informed by recent research into linguistic historiography, comparative literature, social and cultural history, education theory, and translation studies, this study illuminates ambivalences that characterised British literary responses to prominent socio-political and linguistic concerns.
